Investigative journalist for Tallahassee's oldest newspaper, McLeod Delaney is also the Star's resident celebrity, having snagged the Pulitzer Prize. Has her life changed? Not in the least--until she's coaxed to Princeton University to teach a course in writing.
Immediately she's in tight with a close circle of professors--notably Archibald Alexander. Who'd have guessed that their bond would be cut short by death? Looks like foul play to McLeod, especially when a second professor drops dead under similar circumstances.
Could Princeton really be harboring a killer? McLeod's betting her own life on the answer by discovering just how dangerous an intellectual with a grudge can be.
